Toby's Video for my Birthday

This is a video that my brother (Toby) and his wife (Melanie) created for me to celebrate the 30 days leading up to my 30th birthday.

Great Wife

I have a great wife!

I turn thirty in less than 30 days now and my wife recruited friends and family to encourage, affirm, and congratulate me. So far it has been going for three days and has been fun to hear from people I don't get to talk to on a regular basis. Our friends Steve and Sarah called and posted some photos on their blog.

Movin' Up to the Big Boy Bed!

Joshua *officially* sleeps in a big boy bed now! After coming back from the fourth of July in Nebraska we decided to make the move. Joshua now loves his big boy bed. If you were to come over and ask him about it, he'd excitedly run down the hall and show you the baseballs all over the sheets.

First Trip to the Ballpark for J.T.

On Saturday if you asked Joshua what he did last night he'd say "bu-ball" (baseball). 

"And what did you see at the baseball game?"

"Cu-ga" (Cougar)

On Friday night we were invited to go to a minor league baseball game with some friends from church and since Joshua was free we took them up on the offer. Joshua enjoyed his first baseball game, all though most of the time he was watching for the Cougar (home team was the Kane County Cougars), he was able to point out the batter.

He also clapped when he heard people clapping, enjoyed a hot dog and ran around quite a bit with the other kids.

It was a fun first trip to the ballpark.
